First, I love your username!!!
Second, your girls are adorable!!!!
Third, the dresses are great!
Fourth, I would just put t-shirts or peasant tops underneath the dresses. I like layers.

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Good idea. We have to start all over since they all grew. I have no idea why kids do that.

But im getting some great ideas from here.

Anyone have any christmas themed Stuff?

I was thinkin about doing some shirts with mickey heads and santa hats.

I also want to do something special for MVMCP and when they go to see Santa. gotta get moving.

Thanks for all the inspiration.

Hey ladies -
I'm looking for an applique design similar to this...

I checked eBay and etsy, but couldn't find anything.


Any suggestions where I might find one?

Thanks!!

Hi, i love lurking on this thread. Everything is awesome!

I am looking for some advice. We are going to WDW 12/8-12/15. We're coming from rainy western washington so the weather will be pleasent to us.

I made the girls these dresses last year for DLR, I cheated a little and did 1 type of dress 2 fabrics.

I still have the patterns and am thinking about using them again. My seamstress (Grandma) Thinks that they should have sleeves on their dresses. I was thinking maybe a princess type short cape. Red/white fuzzy since it will be christmas time. Or maybe even matching. Havent gotten that far yet.

Any thoughts on going with or without sleeves.They usually only wear them at dinners and for a few rides.

TIA for any help!

I also vote for the long/short sleeve shirt to layer w/ idea. Love these!

That middle layer is screaming Nightmare before Christmas to me.
Put a Jack and Sally on top and that would be the world's coolest wedding cake.

Thanks! That was my inspiration for it! I keep thinking it just needs Jack and Sally as the toppers!

Okay I think I am done with shirts.... didn't do everything I originally wanted, but at least I got Taylor's stuff done.

Here are the shirts I finished for us big girls....wish DH would match in some way too, but he won't

For the dessert

For 1900 PF:

For Ohana (Taylor couldn't let me take pics that didn't have her in it):

For Animal Kingdom, my mom has one too but she took it with her since I was done with it when she was here last week. Her's is black and white. My sister also has a skirt to match Taylor's. It is the pink and white, green and white, and black and white zebra print stripwork twirl (and she wants to wear a petti with it too..... she is a dork but her and Taylor will look cute)

Those are fab!

I bought the new Molly Peasant pattern yesterday and decided to try it with some fabric I bought on clearance at Hobby Lobby. I love this pattern! It is sooo easy and Claire can wear it to school (she has to have sleeves).

I will be making more of these this week...as well as some other things.

On a Disney note, DH and I talked today and are planning on going to WDW again in Nov 2010 for Molly's 3rd birthday!

Really cute! I think this pattern would work well for DD as well.

Ok, Here are my first two "No Sew" shirts. I made these for our first Disney trip last June. I had NO clue how to sew the Mickey heads on, so I took 2 sided iron on tape and ironed them onto the tshirts.

Once I got back, I found you GREAT AWESOME ladies (and Tom) and finally "appliqued" around my Mickey heads and made some capris with ribbon. I was SO excited b/c I actually used the sewing machine this time!

I finally then had enough courage to sew my first "official" outfit for Valentines day. I thought it turned out pretty good since that was the first time I had sewed since 9th grade home ec class!

I made this applique following HeatherSue's WONDERFUL tutorial. I know it's very basic BUT just 3 months later I did a multiple layer applique.

This outfit is PRE CARLA C days of using her patterns.

But OH HOW I LOVE CARLA C pattern's once I got one!!! And notice my first multilayer applique (THANK YOU HEATHERSUE!)

And last but not least (Actually it's my FAVORITE); I CASED My*Sweet*Sunshines Tink outfit. This was THE outfit that made me decide I was going to dig my sewing machine out and LEARN how to sew! (THANK YOU LESLIE!!) Mollie can't wait to wear it in Oct to meet the Fairies (and neither can I).

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE on this board that have gotten me this far! You all have given me a new passion!

Love love love all of this; you have done great! Love the Tink and the stripwork!

We are back from Jacob's birthday cruise, he was so surprised! The kids really had a great time. I have been feeling queasy and weird since we got back, has that happened it anyone else? I wasn't sick at all on the boat, but now I feel like I am rocking all the time! So irritating.

Anyway, here is Miss Megan in Carla's latest:

And me:

Aren't my husband's photography skills great? Next time I will ask Megan!

I have yet to go all the way back but I did see all the vidas (including on animals): so cute!

Cute!

That is toooooooo funny! Congrats on your weightloss!

 

[emcreative]

Marah- are you interested in the corduroy fabric for pants and stuff?? Ill ship it if you want it.

I TOTALLY missed this somehow. PM me the details!

 

[mom2prettyprincess]

Has anyone ever used the Sandi Henderson Portabello Pixie Patterns, specifically the Claire? Anything anyone has to offer on the patterns would be great.

Thanks

 

[PrincessMickey]

That's pretty good. But the funny thing is the first thing I noticed was not the lettuce but the foot sticking staright up behind it. It made me laugh, I can picture my DS doing the same thing.

 

[teresajoy]

I finally went back in the sewing room today and finished up Katie's Vida for the beach...she LOVES it...so do I! I went off of every tutorial that has been posted...so THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Kim, I know it was hard to sew again, but this turned out so beautiful! Your Grandma would be so proud!

20 pounds! that is fabulous!!!

That "cake" is hilarious, but...

tell me about the foot!

 

[bclydia]

Thanks for looking!

Congratulations! That is a great cake!

Here is the last dress I made for my baby girl with her sister's matching dress.

Oh, they are so cute! The dresses are great too!

Christine, that turned out beautifully! Eleora says it's great too!

Thanks for all of your prayers! We saw the dentist and he took xrays and saw that her teeth were pushed back up into her gums. He said that in most cases they work themselves back down. She did break at least on of her teeth so he keep an eye on them and then decide what needs to be done when they have worked themselves back down. He was wonderful and really put us all at ease! Now that we'veseen the dentsit and know that she is going to be fine I can relax and hopefully get some sewing and schooling done today!

Glad to hear all is okay. That must have been really scary!

They are absolutely NOT allowed to be too old for princesses! Especially at only five yrs old! Oh my! They grow up too fast! All of these were great!
I lost the photo but the alice is my favourite!

That really is too funny!

Hmm, I lost the quote of the shirts for Auntie and for Mommy - really cute!!!
Oh, and the two new dresses from CarlaC's pattern. They turned out great.
I'm thinking I may need that pattern. Sounds like it comes together quickly and that would be a good thing!

 

[VBAndrea]

Slightly OT, but still creative LOL
I may have mentioned that a friend of mine and I have started a boutique cake business called 2 Chicks Cakes! Here's what we did last night- it was a birthday cake for 4 colleagues. First time I did a paying gig for someone I didn't know at all, so pretty cool milestone there

Thanks for looking!

ETA the small gap between the top and middle tiers will be covered; but I didn't see it when we mocked it for the pic shown. The client specified that they wanted to use ribbon. And yes, my brain doesn't see straight lines real well, but this cake is supposed to be "mad hatter" style, I promise.

That looks way too pretty to eat! I love how you did the swirls in the middle layer. Congrats on your first job for total stangers.

Here is the last dress I made for my baby girl with her sister's matching dress.

Thanks for the picture of the topstiching on a patchwork. Does it make it more secure?

I love the black and pink combination. It makes me keep rethinking what I want to do for dd for MK. I also think I have that same black fabric with white circular/swirl dots. Mine was on clearance at Walmart so I had no choice but to buy it. And your girls are gorgeous! Whaen I initially glanced at the first picture I thought your baby was a babydoll -- she's flawless!

NCmomof2 I had to check when you were going because I thought if we ran into eachother and my daughter was wearing this dress they may all look like sisters, I love black and white with pink or red, this dress is for our Cinderella's breakfast.

That is sooooo pretty and such a unique idea. With all the great things being posted I can't make up my mind what I want to make! I may *need* to case that.

Finally got some pics taken today. You may notice a puss on her face in the princess vida (which I know I cased from someone on here). Sara Beth told me she is too old for princesses today. NO! She is only 5!

Well, I am off to work. Thanks for looking!

Too old for princesses!!! NEVER! My dd is 5 and actually just started getting into princesses. I'm so excited b/c I never thought it would happen. And I adore the Alice -- definitely my fav out of what you made. It's awesome!

ANDREA!OMG...I love you! Okay my DH may not after this. I just went to Walmart. How did I never know that one still had fabric (except that I only work in VB not live). They had pink sparkle with the crowns on it..perfect for the backpack I'm working on. They also had some curious george stuff (NOT FLEECE) that I've been looking for. And of course I got a bunch of other stuff. I can not thank you enough for telling me that one still had fabric.

It's so nice to be loved! I had no clue they still had fabric either -- it was my Mom who let me know. I scored quite well there too. Not the biggest selection in the world, but some pretty good fabrics that I haven't seen elsewhwere.

I hear you on that ..
I drive an extra 10 miles to get to the walmart that has fabric...
I wounder why some have it and some don't...

If a Walmart gets changed to a SuperWalmart they phase out the fabric department to make the electronics section bigger (at least that's what the fabric associate informed me).

Beautiful girls and lovely dresses! I would stick with what you have and bring along long sleeved shirts to wear under the dresses for the mornings and evenings, and coordinating sweaters as well. I love the cape idea and am conteplating that for my dd as well, though I'm not sure she'll wear a cape b/c she already has a cute caplet sweater that she dislikes. I want to try a bolero style jacket though.

Okay I think I am done with shirts.... didn't do everything I originally wanted, but at least I got Taylor's stuff done.

Great work! Love the 1900 PF t's. You all are going to be a hit with the Tremaines! (Sorry, had to eliminate some pics b/c I had too many in my reply but I do love everything you did).

I bought the new Molly Peasant pattern yesterday and decided to try it with some fabric I bought on clearance at Hobby Lobby. I love this pattern! It is sooo easy and Claire can wear it to school (she has to have sleeves).

That looks great! My dd has one more year where we can get away with spahetti straps. Once she goes into first grade the dress code changes.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE on this board that have gotten me this far! You all have given me a new passion!

Everything is great! I am so glad you posted a pic of a pillowcase dress with a long sleeved t under it. I thought it would look odd but it looks great ~ I think it helps that you have the lettuce edges on the t. Hmmm, I might be adding a few pillowcase tops to dd's wardrobe now.

We are back from Jacob's birthday cruise, he was so surprised! The kids really had a great time. I have been feeling queasy and weird since we got back, has that happened it anyone else? I wasn't sick at all on the boat, but now I feel like I am rocking all the time! So irritating.

Both look great! But I do have to agree with you on your dh's photography skills!

Hey Ladies
well I finally got my daughter's tinkerbell nap mat finished for daycare. It took two nights away from my skirt sewing but I got back to that tonight. I have all my tiers sewn on my twirly skirt and the ruffle is hemmed. (although not very well, but hey I'm learning!) tomorrow night I start gathering and sewing the layers together. wish me luck!

Don't worry about the hem -- once you start gathering it will hide any flaws.

I finally went back in the sewing room today and finished up Katie's Vida for the beach...she LOVES it...so do I! I went off of every tutorial that has been posted...so THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Love the colors and looks perfect on Katie!

With everything going on...I never shared my Birthday cake Tim gave me...

Yep...that is a head of lettuce...I have been dieting and really working hard to get these pounds off...20 now!!!!...he thought this was funny...


Never fear...they made me a real one too!

Too funny! Congrats on the weightloss. I have 10 pounds to lose and I just can't get my act together. I'm hoping once the kids go back to school I can get my exercise program back into gear. I hate working out though. Would much rahter be preparing for our Dis trip. And I have a very hard time dieting -- chocolate is my friend.

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Good idea. We have to start all over since they all grew. I have no idea why kids do that.
But im getting some great ideas from here.

Anyone have any christmas themed Stuff?

I was thinkin about doing some shirts with mickey heads and santa hats.

I also want to do something special for MVMCP and when they go to see Santa. gotta get moving.

Thanks for all the inspiration.

We need Xmas outfits as well. I saw some cute Mickey heads with Santa caps and bells that I may try (at least for ds). For dd I'll likely make some sort of frilly dress to wear over embellished jeans (I'm assuming it will be cool at night). Was also thinking of a red cape with fur trim but wish I knew better what the weather would be like. I surely can not wait for a 10 day forecast and then try to whip everything up. I'm not that speedy of a sewer.

Cute... I like the tinkerbell peasent. Also the rocking will probably last for little bit. I went on a cruise several years ago and remember it last about 5 days. A friend of mine went in May and it took her about a week. That is the only thing I did not like about my cruise. I hope it goes away soon for you.

I finally went back in the sewing room today and finished up Katie's Vida for the beach...she LOVES it...so do I! I went off of every tutorial that has been posted...so THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I love the color combination. May I ask how old your daughter is and what size you did it for her? I am still in the process of making one for my DD but its just so big on her. She looks about the same age of your DD (7) and I made hers on a 9/10 with the seam allowance. She is really hard to fit... the 7/8's are too small and the 9/10's really are too big. When I made the 9/10 the length came down to the floor on her (she is short). I am in the process of taking the bottom part of and shortening it about 5 inches or so. I am probably going to use a combination of sizes on her next Vida.

Love all your T's but those step sister ones are just too cool!!!!

How cute!

Be sure to start your WDW trip before Molly's 3rd birthday then you won't have to buy her a park pass-they consider you the age you were when you start the trip.

Everything is wonderful! Your kids are so cute! Love that Tink outfit!

Hello everyone,

I have followed you guys for a 2 years and love your outfits. I love to sew and DD has gotten quite a nice collection now. I am currently making a tink sundress and a birthday dress now.

What do you normally include in the gives for boys? I normally just do crayon rolls but I know of a wonderful family who's DD is undergoing treatment for cancer and she and her mom may be separated for 9-12 months from the dad and brother. I am giving the boy some things and kinda running out of ideas. Thanks in advance.

So sorry for your friends. How about PJ pants or shorts for the boy? I've made my DS applique t's and bowling shirts. I also make crayon rollups using Crayola twistable colored pencils. How about a tote bag?

We are back from Jacob's birthday cruise, he was so surprised! The kids really had a great time. I have been feeling queasy and weird since we got back, has that happened it anyone else? I wasn't sick at all on the boat, but now I feel like I am rocking all the time! So irritating.
